Review for CLR Metal Clear

Do you often see products advertised on TV and think I should try that but I bet it doesn't work as well as they say it does. I'm often skeptical but lately I'm finding that every product I try made by Jelmar does do what it says it will do.

CLR Metal Clear is a multi-purpose cleaner that will not only clean but will shine too.

This product can be used on:

stainless steel

aluminum

chrome

porcelain

Corian

Granite

Enamel

Laminate counter tops

Proof that this product does work!

Originally I thought this product would be great for cleaning the break dust, dirt and grime off of our vehicles wheel rims. Then I started thinking about the different items in my kitchen that I could use CLR Metal Clear on.

I have a saucepan that I use quite often, and one day I came home to find it burnt looking on the outside. It was one of those cases of - it wasn't me. At the time I was too busy to worry about trying to scrub it and so I left it the way it was, washed it the best I could and put it away.

The two pictures to the right shows the results of using Metal Clear. This was a test to see how well this product would work and I was quite happy with the results.

This took three minutes to clean. Since it worked so well I went back and applied it a second time to clean the rest of the pot.

If you are looking for a product to remove rust, calcium, or lime, and is septic safe, CLR has this product.

Instructions: How to Use CLR Metal Clear

Apply a bit of the CLR to a clean damp cloth.

Briskly rub onto the surface to be cleaned.

Rinse under cool water and dry.

Please note:

It is recommended that you do not leave the product on for more than three minutes.

When using on anything such as the inside of a pot be sure to rinse really well to make sure that the entire product is removed.

Cleaning Stainless Steel is a Breeze with Metal Clear

Bring the inside and outside of those stainless steel pots and pans back to looking brand new with very little effort.

Clean the grime off of those metal rings around your stove burners with ease.

On my kitchen stainless steel sink I applied CLR Metal Clear and gently rubbed. Rinsed with cool water and in two minutes my sink was clean and shiny. Normally I use Comet and scrub and scrub for at least five minutes, and then rinsing off the Comet seems to take forever. With CLR it was fast and easier with great results.

Five Star - Really?

I personally give this product a five star rating because it works exactly the way in which it is advertised to do. The instructions are clear on the bottle on how it is to be used, and I am very happy with the results of this product.

Not using your silver or your silver flatware because it is tarnished and too hard to clean? With Tarn-X it can be shiny and looking brand new within minutes. See how easily I cleaned mine that is over 55 years old.

CraftytotheCore, I've used CLR Metal Clear Cleaner on my stainless steel sink and it does a beautiful job. When I run out though I find that Comet cleans it up quite nicely too. Many people think that the Comet will scratch the sink but Comet when a little wet turns into a paste and doesn't hurt the stainless at all.

What a great product review. My stainless steal sink gets grimy looking and I'm constantly scouring it. I will definitely try this cleaner. For the post and pans too!

I've used CLR for hard water deposits for years, but never heard of this derivative. You can bet I'll give it a try, though - I'm pleased enough with regular CLR to give anything they make a shot.

RH, I still have just one teflon that I use and a few frying pans that are teflon, but for the most part I prefer now to use the stainless steel pots. I do want to get a few cast iron though.

I love CLR! I have used it for years. It cleans great and is so handy for so many things. I used the "regular" CLR for my bathrooms and kitchen. It's great! Great hub! Voting up and useful. :)

I didn't realize this was a new hub! Ah! And I need some of that stuff.

I recently threw away a pan because the Teflon was flecking off. They can all fleck off. I never want to buy Teflon again. All my pans that are metal - have stayed good for so many years! They last better than anything.

Lipnancy, I added the CLR product into the hub that will remove calcium deposits, rust and lime.

Lipnancy 4 years ago from Hamburg, New York

I have never used CLR. I wonder how it would be for calcium deposits. Our region is famous for Calcium deposits.

moonlake, I didn't think that sauce pan would ever come out so clean. Thank you for the vote.

Ardie, Thanks for reminding me of my irons. I have three ... why? My twins ski and snowboard. They've used 2 of the irons to wax their ski's/snowboard, and now you've got me thinking I should try the Metal Clear on them. I didn't start out with 3 irons of course. Just one and then bought another because the first one got used for the waxing ... then the next one. The third one I have hidden. Kids gotta love em :)

Ardie 4 years ago from Neverland

Oh man - I have so many things I could use this one. Im especially eyeballing my iron with its burnt on goo stuff. Thanks for the review :)

Susan, I love CLR! It gets lime deposit off so well, too. 5 stars to this product. Everyone should have it on hand because it has so many great uses that can be applied.
